PRK Journal, Day 4

This was definitely the worst day of vision so far.  I did the target test in the morning.  It doesn't really reflect how bad I could see today.  I tried it a couple of times after that without measuring and it was more in the 20 inch range.  The right eye was previously saving the left.  Now the left has moderately improved while the right went south.  Reading almost anything was difficult and blurry.  I went to a ballet performance and a play.  I could follow the action but could not really get the faces in focus.  This is sort of discouraging, even though the doctor told me this would probably happen.  Hope this is the bottom.  I couldn't really do much useful work like this.

Comfort: Tired eyes most of the day, especially evening.  No real pain.
Photosensitivity: A little more, not severe.  Sunglasses definitely necessary outside.  Felt more comfortable away from windows inside.
Target: Both eyes: 53 inches.  Right eye: 37 inches.  Left eye: 42 inches.
Closeup vision: Very blurry.  Reading was very hard and strenuous.
Driving; Would have been a bad idea, especially if I needed to read any signs.
Working: Not yet.
